My Dad and Uncle have a race car together, and they drag race. My Dad knows that I hate the engine in my Equinox. He always reminds me that you could time the 0 to 60 time with a calendar instead of a stop watch. 
Learned a new fact. You get bigger brakes wth the 2.0.Here is the link to the Car and Driver story'https://www.caranddriver.com/gmc/terrain
this is the most in depth review I have seen for capacities, and specs OF THE 2018 2.0lTR AWD.
The goat! Back in a time where auto manufactures *understated* the engine power to save you insurance money.While we're on the topic, I hit 115 with a 66 GTO on an on-ramp onto the highway ! I have gone faster, but not on on-ramps ! Ah, to be young and foolish.
Car and Driver shows 131 mph for a 2013 with the 3.6.. I haven't really been so lucky with my 2017 to see what it hits.
The 3.6l by tops out at 112 mph... govenor kicks in.I think it was 93 mph... in my 2013 Nox with the 3.6L V6.
It was by accident.
Nox was fairly new to me.
Hopped on the onramp---... and accelerated to get on the highway....
when I looked down--- HOLY POOP... 93..... and backed off the gas.
the 3.6/NOX, felt alot different than the 3.6/Traverse.
It sure didnt feel like 93.... the engine was not even struggling....
...unless you have a tune by IPF...The 3.6l by tops out at 112 mph... govenor kicks in.
